Installing Hugo in Windows

Below is a 'How-To' on installing Hugo in Windows. 

I would recommend you watch  Mike Dane's YouTube Tutorial  for a better understanding. 

Create a Hugo Directory in C:\Hugo . We will store hugo files or websites here. 

Create directory bin in C:\Hugo .  We will store Hugo Binaries/exe's  in this directory.

Download Hugo from  https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases (Windows 64 bit or 32 bit )

Extract the downloaded Hugo zip file to C:\Hugo\bin .Make sure the executable is named as 'hugo.exe'. 

Set the appropriate  Environmental Path:

Open a new windows PS or Command Prompt and run  hugo version to check if Hugo is installed properly.
